It is such a great feeling to see the new vibe emerging down there, and the mix of JC and legend, Top Girl and Art John that has been marking the crowd in the Jackie/CB's parties since we began at Halloween. Was especially thrilled to see Slanty Eyed Mama tear down the house, as I knew they would when I first spotted them at this year's Black and Blue Ball.
Was lovely to see so many of the affiliated houses come out to pay respects to House of D as well, including the many representatives of Arena, the Dungeon of Mistress Angel Stern, the house of Demask, and of course Jackie's own Madame Cole de Sade of Gomorrah/ZeroTolerance.
And so many tails, horns, devil masks and the like! These parties have been proving what we've known all along - that our crowd, or those who are about to join it - LOVE to be able to dress up as long as they will be safe and appreciated, as they certainly are.

. . . It is a great comfort to know that I am not the only person in the world who has a love for clothing/shoes ect. If this is vain or strange, oh well at least I am not alone. . .

We really look forward to September 21, our next Jackie 60 FURTHER, and promise something very special to begin our 13th season. And Donna - we expect the same from you!
